[ the tablet is sat in Elizabeth's lap, she hasn't worked out really how it works beyond hitting buttons until something seemed to happen. Which she's frowning so at it then far too pleased with herself when it seems to do what she wants it to. ]
How on earth do they make the little images move -- ? [ but it is no real, matter. She's learning to just accept the fact she doesn't understand how half this stuff works ] I've a few questions that I cannot ascertain simply from watching if I may be so bold... [ she licks her lips briefly before continuing. ] ... where does one find material to make clothes from? As I've yet to make sense of the items I find here made already, but the clothes I arrived in are... not fitting for most daily activities. [ It had only one layer of clothing and... no. No that seems wrong and strange and not at all decent. ]
As well as... [ she lent her head on her hand as she hummed. Making requests is strange, there ought to be people swarming about her, accompanying her wherever she went but now there isn't and its so odd to ask. ] Would I be able to request someone to take a walk about the city with me? Someone who is familiar with the times, so to speak, as I find myself unable to make sense of very much of it. England was a very different place to me, and I cannot make heads nor tails of her now. I do not ever recall her raining so much. [ and she smiles very briefly. ]
My thanks for your time.
[ ooc: my mistake, this should read as coming from Victoria Guildford. forgot to add it in, all my apologies for the confusion. ]

What men do and what God intends can be two very different things, in my experience. [ She cannot fathom for a moment that God would ever want Catholics and Protestant to massacre each other so. ]

[And some don't even bother.]
When I'm from, that very thing has resulted in years of war. I chose to take part in it, but looking back, I find myself wishing for a way to achieve peace and order instead.

[ God, and my right. The words of the English Kings since Richard the Lionheart. And what had God to do with the way they fought.
Though she didn't doubt the moment word came, telling her she was to be Queen of England, that God had some part in her salvation. ]
Do not we all, when we see the cost of such things? How could we ever be so foolish when we do not understand the lives that such actions will take from us.
[ And the words are bitter, so very hurt, for she didn't take the wise council in her own time. She thought to be as her father, and to rush forward. She could see smell that soft copper of an English boy's blood on french colours.
Perhaps this place too was her mistake, and the mistake of all royals, too. ]

[But she doesn't ever expect to see them again, and isn't that its own kind of loss?
One she chose, at least.]
We're all capable of learning from our mistakes, at least. Even if that learning sometimes comes too slow.

[ There had been so little choice in what her family had done to itself. It was a special thing, when even a King was slightly reviled for the way he treated his wives. ]
It is a shame that so many did not here.

[This topic of conversation is a little heavier than she'd imagined entering into, but she doesn't object, simply goes silent for a moment or two.]
My name is Maria, by the way.

Victoria Guildford, at your service, my lady.

Have you had any difficulties settling in, despite the strangeness of it all?
